Earth Reportedly Has Two Hidden Extra Moons Entirely Made Of Dust

We might have more than a single moon, according to the latest expert confirmations reported by National Geographic.

The vast dust clouds that have been spotted for the very first time back in the 1960s have now been confirmed. This event could affect plans for future space exploration.

It seems that Earth’s moon could not be the only one. After over half a century of controversy and speculation, Hungarian astronomers and physicists claim that they have eventually confirmed the existence of two Earth-orbiting moons that are entirely made of dust.

The Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society explains that the team managed to capture snapshots of the mysterious clouds that have been lurking just 250,000 miles away which is about the same distance as our moon.

Researchers have previously inferred the presence of multiple companions to Earth, but the dust clouds have not really been seen until 1961 when Polish astronomer Kazimierz Kordylewski, got a glimpse.

“The Kordylewski clouds are two of the toughest objects to find, and though they are as close to Earth as the moon, are largely overlooked by researchers in astronomy,” according to the study co-author Judit Slíz-Balogh, a Hungarian astronomer.
